This is sweet! and it’s posable!

As others have said the bold colours are very cool. You’re so good at using bright colours really well. Yellow would never come up on a real mecha, but you make it look convincing.

I like the torso alot, it gives it a nice meaty feel, and it’s nicely contrasted with the pelvis and the head.

As usual you’re weapons are sweet, I love this That gun screams M60. Very cool. the other weapons are just as sweet.

Great work as usual, can’t wait for more!

This is really a first for me. For years now, I’ve always made my bipedal mecha either flimsy thus requiring numerous stoppers (which are eyesores design-wise) to hold up or so rigid that their one pose looked awkward. BUT no more! I finally got those ball joints to work. Sure it took some time for me to get right, but I finally freakin’ did it! Haha!

Alright, must calm down now. :-D

This mecha took longer than it should have to build. The torso and legs really posed some challenges. With larger mecha such as my “Joker” and even “Brute” I had plenty of space to work with, but not so with this ball joint mecha. I could not exceed certain mass limits, otherwise the whole thing would collapse like a rag doll. Making a torso that was ~4 studs tall, could fit a minifig, and had 3 connection points proved difficult for me at first, but I finally settled on what you see right now.

As for the weapons, I went a bit crazy. I’m a big fan of all types of military equipment and weaponry, so I hope you all can bear seeing another mecha totin’ an AR around. ;-)

Oh, and I also tried incorporate designs from the “Rhino” into this mecha, i.e. the hatch is tiled in a similar manner, the optical sensors are dk. grey, red, and lt. blue, etc.

Enjoy!
